Moooi Boon - Round

The Boon Round is a big light shade, a very big light shade. Designed by Piet Boon for Moooi, who else, the Boon is designed to be noticed. It is no easy matter making a drum shade that is almost a metre across, especially one that has a seamless base diffuser. Looking up into the Boon feels a bit like glancing up at a passing airship, the light has a substantial presence yet appears to float. The walls are cotton over PVC attached to a wire frame and can be either black or white and the light itself can be either round or square. The base diffuser gives off a lovely even glow and hides the light fitting which houses a single bulb as standard, an optional three bulb fitting can be specified. The Boon works well in high rooms but looks equally grand hung close to the ceiling and if the ceiling is lower the chrome stem in the centre from which the cable emerges is more visible. Made in Italy and shipped in a box the size of a bungalow the Boon is the light all of your empty spaces have been waiting for.
